Cracked Vanity, Grandmother
Work Description: I have been drawing on eggs since childhood, a rich, feminine
tradition especially around Easter in my native Czech Republic. As a child I was
greatly aware of the egg shell’s frailty as my clumsy hands worked the surface,
breaking dozens in the process. In my art making, the egg is a metaphor for the
fragility of human life as I represent the portraits of my ancestors.
